Diving Hawk [Quest]

It was not long before a giant creature descended. After waiting for an hour and a half, I was egar to see if this boy was worth my time. I realized that it was a summon that approached me as the same male demounted it once it made the touch down. “Good, any longer and you would have missed your chance.” I say, my voice firm, eyes narrowed. Now that he has arrived at HQ, now was the time for the real quest. “Alright, well first thing's first. You will need to prove yourself worthy to be taught by me. So I am giving you a small task.” I explain, turning around to point in the direction of where the next test will be.

“Just over that hill is a castle. But beware, the place is more like a hazard than your regular castle; so don't expect a warm welcome when you arrive there. What I have done is stored the scrolls to the basics of training Hirashin deep within the heart of the ruin. Your objective is to travel to the castle and bring me back the scrolls. But beware, you will be expected.” I say, dropping my arm back to my side. I will not give him any idea of what is waiting for him, but I am pretty sure that this boy is egar to face anything that steps in his way. I dismiss him with a simple wave of the hand. Will the boy make it and bring back what he is sent to retrieve, or will he decide to turn back and head back home?

The boy's companion was told to stay behind. The dog, or shall I say wolf, listened obediently and sat down beside me. “I would recommend you taking your pet, boy.” I say just as he departed. I estimate it will take him roughly five minutes to reach the castle; and by then, they will be ready....

The castle was indeed nothing but rubble. Two towers were still standing, however. A distinct shadow forming across the dry patch of land leading out toward the hill in which the male would approach from. Behind the two towers would be what's left of a courtyard, a half destroyed fence created three walls around the courtyard, thus encasing it from outsiders. It is still unknown as for how many rooms this castle once possessed, but that it not the reason the boy is here. Deep within the ruin are scrolls for the boy's quest. Scrolls in which he is to retrieve for the master who waited five minutes away with the boy's companion.

As the boy would approach the entry, they would stare down from the towers and other cracks within the building. Watching to see what the boy will do next. Each and every one of them grinning a crazed grin. It is their job to ensure that those scrolls remain untouched... Four shadows loom within these broken down walls, drifting around like long lost ghosts. Will the boy enter the castle to continue his search or is the ruin too intimidating for him?
